Show The DEsiocaATs of Omaha have nominated CoL Patrick for mayor of that city, and intend to elect him. He is the father of the Utah U. S. marshal mar-shal Patrick. About the greatest grief the old man can have to contend with ju.-t now is the practices and politics of the slender marshal, his son. UTAH HI ATT KKS IS "WASHINGTON. "WASHING-TON. The Washington telegraphic correspondent corres-pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, under dale 20th inst., report? to that journal xs follows: Dispatches were received from Salt Lake city yesterday, by the Mormon committee who are here to present the new constitution of Utah and the memorial me-morial to congress, announcing that the election had gone largely in fuvor of the constitution, electing George Q. Cannon, one of the twelve advisers of Hrigham Voting, and a member of the committee now here, to the senate ol tho Territory by a vote ol 4, Mo. 1 he j lowest vote for a candidate for the Icgis-1 laturo was 4, $00. Thero is no doubt the new constitution is carried byaj large vote. The highest vote against it so far as known was 14','. Tho oili-cial oili-cial notice of tho adoption of the constitution con-stitution has not yet been received' by j Mr. Cannon and the other members of the committee, for tho reason that the returns aro not yet all in. The papers were printed to-day and will be submitted sub-mitted to both houses of congress when tho oflicial vote is received. In this connection it may be staled that ex-congressman Thomas Pitch, who is a member of the Mormon committee, com-mittee, recently wrote to Mr. Greeley, with refcrenco to Iho admission of Utah as a Stato. Mr. Greeley, under dato of March 2rd, replies that he docs not sec how Utah can be admitted aa a Stato in tho face and eyes of a recent re-cent act requiring a population which she lacka. Mr. Urcoley says he hopes that we shall pay more attention to our own morals, and less to other folks' than judge McKean's ruling indicates. Mr. Greeley's idea is a sensible one. If a little more attention were paid to Washington morals and a little less to those of Utah, the country at large would be the gainer by the change of base. |
